EU - oasis of peace and security

The Rome Declaration was adopted unanimously on Saturday at the ceremonial summit of 27 EU-member states in Rome, marking the 60^th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico attended the ceremony. As he said, the unanimous support made it clear that the Union wants to carry on united. "I don't see any living space for Slovakia other than the European Union. Anyone claiming that Slovakia would be able to survive as a neutral state is lying," said Robert Fico. According to him, nobody is claiming that the EU is perfect, but we do not have anything more perfect. "We should realise that Europe is probably the best place for life worldwide. It's an oasis of peace and security." Robert Fico pledged that as long as he was prime minister, he would continue doing his utmost for Slovakia to be viewed as a trustworthy partner in this unique project.
